On another board this week, there was a debate as to why soccer was not as popular in America as in the rest of the world.

Many might find it interesting that here in the US, there was a professional soccer league that was quite popular for a while. The league was called the "North American Soccer League" and folded in 1984. The primary reason it folded is because it was mismanaged. In 1978, the New York Cosmos averaged 48,000 fans per game and had 70,000 at a few games. This to me indicates that soccer CAN become popular in the US under the right circumstances.

But this thread is not so much about that. Many people have told me why they didn't like soccer. I know there are many fans on GFY. For those of you that are, I would like to know why you DO love soccer?
